Speakeasy forum: Green paint dumped all over

the statue at the Lincoln Memorial....is this another 'protest' over the Z verdict? After all, didn't Lincoln free the slaves? It would seem appropriate in a very sick way that protestors or some whacked out activist would see this as symbolic, right?

however, I find it ironically strange that with all the protests going on over the Z case, that the Lincoln Memorial was the one vandalized and not some other historic monument by this whacked out loon. It's like a sick, twisted message of sorts. I'll wait for the final outcome (surveillance tapes could id the person) as to why this particular site was chosen....I'm hoping I'm wrong.

.....are around one in ten million, so I wouldn't sweat it. You might be less stressed if you stopped trying to invent explanations for things and just waited until some actual information was available.

I don't participate in the sport but thought the splash would radiate more in all directions. However, distance, elevation and angle could be a factor. A straight line shot would be more star like but what about a downward arc? I'd need to test the theory on a neighbor's house.

Bronze and marble statuary is classic art from old Greek and Roman times. The color of the person didn't much matter. It would seem that lighter material would show human features better if the statue was to be viewed by natural light. If the medium used is of one color, the features come from shadows and highlights. Using a darker material would do fine if artificially lighted to bring out details but not so well if the sun was the only source.

of the paint testing for a 'match' to the same paint she used........She's only been charged with the one act at the Cathedral and none of the rest of the vandalism. There are also, according to your link, other paint incidents over the last week that they haven't linked to her either.

You have just done the same quick accusation routine you and others did with regard to Z, Josh....jumped to conclusions that now that one person has been arrested, guilt is automatically assumed regarding it all. You have a real problem with waiting for evidence and proof, doncha?

Typical response though when you consider that the same type of attitude is universal with this administration........'the case is done being investigated, move on, there's nothing here to see'.......

You know about one incident out of five or six...some with a different paint and some contaminated with human waste. Obviously at least SOME of those incidents aren't connected to her, but you've pretty much, with your statements, concluded that there is nothing left to investigate because she's mentally ill and must have done them all.

I speculated, yes.......and I also said I hope I'm wrong. I'll be happy if I am; however, I didn't deliberately and without proof state that someone was guilty like you just did and wipe my hands of the rest of the incidents by pinning them on her as well.

You are making one of yourself now.....I speculated on WHY the Lincoln Memorial might have targeted. YOU actually are accusing a mentally unstable women of vandalizing ALL of the sites when so far there isn't any proof that she did anything, except perhaps the Cathedral job. Your link mentioned that others had been hit the week before, some with the same color green paint (but not necessarily the SAME green paint since tests have to be run first), some were in white, and some were contaminated paint with human waste. I don't have a theory of any sort, contrary to your statement. I speculated retaliation.......YOU convicted the woman already as you did with Z for all of those crimes. As far as you're concerned the case is closed, lock her up, and move on....the same as you did for Z. I speculate, you convict early on.
